Paul Prudhomme's Chicken Diane

Submitted by Juju Bee

"This was one of my FAVORITE chicken dishes growing up. We didn't have it too often, (for health reasons :) but when we did I knew it was going to be a good night! If you can't find Paul Prudhomme's "Magic Cajun Spice" you can substitute his "Magic Poultry" or even "Magic for Veal or Pork", but the Cajun seasoning gives it a good kick! Also, we much more prefer boneless skinless thighs. In our family's opinion this dish is just not as flavorful with breast meat, but I left the recipe as it was written by Paul Prudhomme."

We also use the Poultry Seasoning. Might have to try the Cajun when I visit my daughter in LA. Try it with angel hair pasta. That's what we normally use. Amazing recipe!

I have been eating this recipe since it came out. First my mother would make it, and now I make it at least 6 times a year. It is Soooooooo yummy! I follow this recipe with no substitution and it is excellent

This is a wonderful recipe! I used boneless/skinless chicken thighs, linguine and the Magic Poultry Seasoning. I didn't use all the butter it calls for in the sauce-I don't think more would have made it any better. It was enjoyed by all, even my picky husband, who proclaimed it a "keeper". This is easy enough for week-night dinners, yet good enough for company too. We will have this again...soon!

We really enjoyed this recipe, and it was doable for a weeknight! A keeper for sure.

This recipe has been in my family for years. It always receives praises from my family and friends. I make it in my electric wok. Excellent! I have increased the recipe to serve 40 people and it still works very well.
